Host: David Zuckerman
Talk Title: "Ra
nk Bounds for Design Matrices with Applications to Combinatorial Geometry
and Locally Correctable Codes"
Talk Abstract:
A (q,k,t)-design m
atrix is an m x n matrix whose pattern of
zeros/non-zeros satisfies the f
ollowing design-like condition: each
row has at most q non-zeros, each
column has at least k non-zeros and
the supports of every two columns int
ersect in at most t rows. We
prove that for m >= n, the rank of any (q,
k,t)-design matrix over
a field of characteristic zero (or sufficiently
large finite
characteristic) is at least n - (qtn/2k)^2 .
Using thi
s result we derive the following applications:
(1) Impossibility resul
ts for 2-query LCCs over large fields: A
2-query locally correctable code
(LCC) is an error correcting code in
which every codeword coordinate ca
n be recovered, probabilistically,
by reading at most two other code po
sitions. Such codes have numerous
applications and constructions (with
exponential encoding length)
are known over finite fields of small chara
cteristic. We show that
infinite families of such linear 2-query LCCs do
not exist over
fields of characteristic zero or large characteristic rega
rdless of
the encoding length.
(2) Generalization of known results i
n combinatorial geometry: We
prove a quantitative analog of the Sylvester
-Gallai theorem: Let
v_1,...,v_m be a set of points in C^d such that fo
r every i in [m]
there exists at least delta*m values of j in [m] such th
at the line
through v_i,v_j contains a third point in the set. We show t
hat the
dimension of { v_1,...,v_m } is at most O(1/delta^2). We also p
a quantitative variant and a three-color variant of the Motzkin-Ra
theorem (which is a colored version of the Sylvester-Gallai theorem).

With 2009 being the year of fake security software and attacks on social networks and search engines, many security firms are predicting more of the same for 2010 along with an increase in attacks aimed at cloud/virtualised environments.
Symantec, Trend Micro, CA and Websense all agree that social networks will continue to pose security headaches, as cyber criminals look to exploit to popularity of sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and other Web 2.0 tools like wikis and blogs.
Symantec claims that social networking third-party applications will be targeted. "As these sites more readily provide third-party developer access to their APIs, attackers will likely turn to vulnerabilities in third-party applications for users' social networking accounts, just as we have seen attackers leverage browser plug-ins more as Web browsers themselves become more secure," the firm said.
With spammers looking for more ways to distributing their malware, CA, M86 and Websense are claiming that search engine optimisation (SEO) poisoning will increase. "The technique aims to elevate malicious landing pages in search engine results rankings to ensure a steady supply of victims. The technique is commonly paired with scareware to capitalise on users trust in search engines," said M86.
Many industry analysts are predicting that cloud computing, SaaS and virtualisation will have a very successful 2010, as firms look to cut costs and improve operational efficiency. It is therefore likely that cyber criminals will follow businesses and look to launch attacks here.
"Cloud computing and SaaS have exploded in popularity during 2009, leading to a vast increase in service offerings. As a result, more and more corporate data is being stored outside of the network, making it difficult for IT administrators to have direct control over the data. In 2010, cybercriminals will target the larger cloud-based providers and attacks will increase," M86 said.
October 2009 saw the release of Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 7, and although the company has played up the safety of it, both Trend Micro and Symantec believe that it will cause security issues for some companies.
"Microsoft has already released the first security patches for the new operating system. As long as humans are programming computer code, flaws will be introduced, no matter how thorough pre-release testing is, and the more complex the code, the more likely that undiscovered vulnerabilities exist. Microsoft's new operating system is no exception, and as Windows 7 hits the pavement and gains traction in 2010, attackers will undoubtedly find ways to exploit its users," said Symantec.
The way applications are built today has fundamentally changed. A new generation of application performance management (APM) is required. dynaTrace...

Arizona Coyotes
Coyotes captain Doan: Chances at winning Stanley Cup next few years as good as anybody
As the longest tenured captain in the NHL, Shane Doan has seen a lot of ups and downs throughout his 18-year hockey career with the Phoenix Coyotes.
After missing out on the NHL playoffs for two consecutive seasons, Doan remains loyal to the program during a low point, telling Burns and Gambo of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM that as far as any regrets for sticking with the franchise, there are "none."
"I obviously would like to be in the playoffs, but the chances of us winning the Stanley Cup in the next two or three years are just as good as anybody," Doan said. "I think Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Keith Yandle are special and I think our goaltending is special. This year, obviously, things didn't work out the way that we wanted to and our scoring has to be better. That's not just saying it to say it. I just think you have to have the best players and your best players have to be your goalie and your defensemen and we have that. That's what makes me excited."
However, it didn't help the Coyotes that Doan missed 13 games due to Rocky Mountain fever and Mike Smith missed the final 10 games of the season due to a right leg injury.
"I think we don't have to make massive changes at all," Doan said. "If you go through the year and Smith doesn't get hurt, and if I don't get sick, and when I come back I'm not as terrible as I was for an additional six weeks, you go through year after year and say �you know what, there's seven points'. Well, seven points puts us in seventh or sixth in the West. There are not massive changes, we just have to be more consistent as a group."

Mercurial 0.9.5: New Features, More Performance
Version 0.9.5 of Mercurial, a distributed version control system has just been released. The new version improves performance, adds new features and fixes bugs.
According to the developers, Mercurial 0.9.5 can handle large directories faster than its predecessor, and the GPL'd software also handles large file better than before. The new version includes various bugfixes, such as one in its support of the VFAT filesystem on Linux, and for resolving paths in the Mercurial command line program Hg.
New: the "hg archive" action can now handle symbolic links, even if the operating system itself does not support symlinks. The "hg manifest -v" command now displays an additional field in the file list with information on the file type. The "*" symbol indicates an executable file, whereas links are tagged with an "@". The Hgweb web front-end now supports the Atom syndication format.
The Mercurial Wiki provides an overview of the changes. The Python source code for Mercurial 0.95 is available for downloading here.

Revised Standard Version (RSV) | New International Version (NIV) |
12 Brethren, I beseech you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong; | 12 I plead with you, brothers, become like me, for I became like you. You have done me no wrong. |
13 you know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first; | 13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you. |
14 and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. | 14 Even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself. |
15 What has become of the satisfaction you felt? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me. | 15 What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. |
16 Have I then become your enemy by telling you the truth? | 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? |
17 They make much of you, but for no good purpose; they want to shut you out, that you may make much of them. | 17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you [from us], so that you may be zealous for them. |
18 For a good purpose it is always good to be made much of, and not only when I am present with you. | 18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always and not just when I am with you. |
19 My little children, with whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you! | 19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, |
20 I could wish to be present with you now and to change my tone, for I am perplexed about you. | 20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you! |

Carole Taylor turns down TEAM's request to run for Vancouver mayor
At least they tried.
After several meetings, phone conversations, and email exchanges that Bill McCreery, his The Electors Action Movement of the Lower Mainland Association, and others had with the person they believed would make a fantastic Vancouver mayor, it's time to move on.
Much to their collective grief, Carole Taylor won't be running.
"I've been in communication with her within the last week and a half, and that's the latest word," McCreery told the Straight in a July 15 phone interview.
TEAM had hoped to enlist the former B.C. finance minister as a mayoral candidate. The association is a revival of sorts of The Electors' Action Movement, which was cofounded by Taylor's husband Art Phillips, the late Vancouver mayor.
Last month, Taylor finished her term as SFU chancellor. Because of her position at the university, TEAM didn't want to go public sooner about the fact that it was courting her.
"I don't want to get into details," McCreery said of her refusal. "It's just that she has a number of very valid personal reasons for not wanting to get involved. She is aware of the situation in Vancouver and she's concerned, as many people are."
Strategic voting splitting, NPA style, leads to king making and all the backhanders that presumably follow.
EG: Rob & Doug Ford are seen as bigoted fools by many but are nothing if not shrewd. Watch for Ford to drop out of the race before the election while he encourages his 20% core base to vote for Tory. That would be the smart thing to do.
Of course throwing your weight behind a loser like NSV, then following that up with TEAM could lead one to think that the "brain trust" behind these efforts cannot even manage to replicate the success of a drug and booze addled clown like Rob Ford.
When Carol Taylor was Gord-Dorkio's Minister of Finance she responded to complaints from the Good Citizens of BC -
That the rules governing the Pre-Selling of Condos (if there were any rules what so ever) allowed supposed Developers to collect down payments on Condos to be built and then run away with the money.
To which the Good Miss (former runway model) Carole Taylor said - that is your problem not the BC Governments and DO NOT LOOK TO THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT FOR SOLUTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So all those hard working folks - many in their retirement years - were left out in the cold and twisting in the wind.
There be no greater BC Political Whore - than Carole Taylor

I'm not certain if this is the right spot to ask this, but I thought I'd give it a shot! I lived in the Oklahoma Panhandle a few years ago, and one of my favorite things was that after it rained the grass would produce these tiny pale pink flowers. I never thought to ask anyone the name of the grass while I was there, and have been wondering ever since. I did some searching, but without much information to go on, the only possibility I could find was that it might be burrograss. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any photos of the flowers that burrograss produces. Does anyone happen to know what grass this was and where I might be able to find a picture of the flowers? Thanks so much! Kim |
Follow-Up Postings:
Thanks for the photo! That helps quite a bit. Assuming that the tufts in the photo are the flowers, then I was wrong about the burrograss. The plant that I was thinking of has small flowers with either four or five petals each (sorry, I don't seem to be able to remember. My memory says five, but then I know how reliable my memory isn't :) ) |
I'm a long way from the Oklahoma panhandle and have clay soil so the native plants here in southern OK may be different from the ones in the panhandle. The flowers that bloom here after a rainfall are rain lilies and we have them on our property in both white-flowered and pink-flowered versions, but I think they usually have six petals. I've linked a photo of a white-flowered one below. We have a short native pink-flowered wildflower here called meadow pink that might be similar to the one you're thinking of, but it doesn't necessarily bloom only after rainfall, although in dry years it does. Dawn |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rainlily--Cooperia Drummondii
Lol -- it could have been six petals too (I'm really pretty bad at this aren't I?) The years I was there were all pretty dry, so that certainly might have been a factor. It's definitely possible that they grow all the time in a less dry year. The meadow pink is too bright a pink for the ones I'm thinking of (though they are lovely!), and I think the petals were rounder than the rain lily, but I'm not sure -- what size do the flowers tend to be? The reason that I ask is that something that I remember about them (other than the blooming after the rain) is that they were tiny -- half an inch or less. They grew really close to the ground too, which is why I assumed that they were a grass. Now that I think about it, though, they certainly could have just been a wildflower growing in the grass. |
I don't know the name of the tiny pink wildflower that grows low to the ground, but I have seen them here too. They remind me of bluets in size and appearance, but are pink. There's a small pink and white wildflower that blooms here in March and April called "Spring Beauty" but since you said pink, and not pink and white, it probably isn't the one you are looking for either. I'm going to link the Oklahoma wildflower webpage that has photos of Oklahoma wildflowers listed by month and order of bloom. If you remember the month you first see them blooming, start by looking at that month first, but keep in mind that often some wildflowers bloom at different times in different parts of the state. Just click on the name of each flower to see the accompanying photo. Maybe you'll find the one you're looking for. Dawn |

Wow -- thanks! That list is great (Now I know how I'll be spending part of my weekend :) ) |

E9 Networks LLC
Company Details:
13509 59th Ave SE
Everett, WA 98208
Phone: (425) 338-7909
The E9 Networks advanced E-9000 Fire Station Alerting System allows communication centers to effortlessly and efficiently respond to emergencies by managing the assets of up to 1000 Fire Stations. Public Safety Dispatch Centers can dispatch a piece of fire fighting equipment, EMS or even a specific apparatus to one or multiple Fire Stations by simply selecting them from an easy to understand PC HD console. Visual indications help operator's efficiently select which stations, units or apparatus to dispatch and also to determine each Unit's Status at a single glance.
The E-9000 Fire Station Alerting System is ideal for Public Municipalities that have IP links between its Central Communications Dispatch Center and its Fire Stations. Using IP to send control commands between the central dispatch center and the fire stations increases the alerting speed dramatically and broadens station connectivity to nearly an unlimited range, making consolidation a snap.
The advanced E-9000 Fire Station Alerting System can operate in a Fully Automatic CAD Mode while still maintaining it's Ultra High Quality Text to Voice station announcements, using it's non-proprietary, fully factory support XML CAD Interface. Since voice or Text to Voice Announcements are independent of Tone-out alerting commands, voice or Text to Voice can be configured to go over IP or over Radio using our non-blocking Radio Voice Gateway Option.
The E-9000 Fire Station Alerting System can be configured to seamlessly and automatically fallback to radio data signaling without loss of Text to Voice in the event of an IP link failure by using either FSK radio modem backup or by direct P25 Data Messaging. Unlike many other FSA systems, there is no waiting for audio channels to become available even while operating with multiple dispatchers, in a city or county wide emergency situation. IP alert commands generally reach Fire Station in less than one-second regardless of the number of fire stations alerted. Fire Stations not only receive ultra high quality Text to Voce, but also Rip-n-Run Station Printouts, User Configurable Station Tone-outs and Time Stamped Event Fire Station Screen and Log Files.

This recipe was delicious. I carmelized the onions and apples first. I thought that was good, but next time I'll try putting the apples in closer to the end. The mixture of flavors was really great!
Excellent recipe and very easy. I wouldn't change a thing except to watch the quantity of fennel seeds. I got a little carried away and it is a strong taste. I also made in cast iron skillet.
I used rasberry wasabi mustard in place of the dijon and made wasabi mashed potatoes to accompany the pork. My boyfriend loved it.
The seasoning blended well with the taste of the tenderloin resulting in an alomost melt-in-your muth experience. Next time I'll try making it with apple cider.
Nice flavors and textures. I didn't have fennel seeds so tried anise seeds instead and used 3/4 cup apple cider and 1/2 cup chardonnay. I delayed adding the sliced apples until the onions were browned. Everyone liked it and it went very quickly.
It was very delicious and I would make it again. I do agree with others not to cook the apples tooo long in the pan. Just a minute or two and then put in the oven.Perfect Valentine's meal
Would I make this dish again? I can't wait to make it again! I also used a cast iron skillet, and it worked wonderfully. I agree that if you don't want squishy apples, don't add them till later on during cooking. However, as one who usually has an aversion to cooked fruit, I loved the "apple sauce" and onion mixture. I'll make it the same way next time.
Next time I'd add the apples just before putting it into the oven. They turned into applesauce. I used a cast iron skillet and it worked beautifully.
This was very good and very easy to make. I was a bit skeptical about 150 degrees in the center, so allowed it to cook to 160, which was fine.
I made this last night and it was terrific, and very east. Generally, I follow the recipe exactly the first time, and that's what I did last night. I did carmelize the apples and onions very well - which made them delicious. I like horseradish with applesauce, so I served that as a condiment. Be careful that the apples and onions don't burn in the hot oven - mine did a bit, but it was OK. With a convection oven, I used 425 degrees.

Hi Guys,
I just received the following email from Saad_Assaf.. "Sorry for the delay and thank you for sharing your impressions and feeling about our Amaryllis bulbs. The clone you got by mistake won't be selected for commercial marketing (sorry) But we intend to marker his "brother" soon, we believe it is a better clone.
So, there you have it! It's a one off and I now am in-trusted with the task of keeping it alive and healthy!! I do hope they choose to name the "brother" Tinkerbell, I can always change her name if need be..(or were they just humoring me??!) We should know next year.. I don't dare to post the picture they sent me without their permission, and I'm not going to ask, but.. I think it's nice.. but, not as nice as my Tinkerbell. It appears to be more of soft muted orange (might just be the picture) and the leaves are larger and not the dusky chocolate that my leaves are..still! It has somewhat ruffled edges and if appears there are 4 flowers per stalk..and I can't imagine it would be any where near as diminutive as mine. It was very nice of them to finally answer me and their email was full of smileys..If any one of you out there lit a fire under them for an answer I thank you... I am waiting impatiently for one of my Misties to bloom as I think that would be a great cross, both small pink flowers..I did freeze some pollen just in case Misty blooms this summer..which is appearing to be the case..and of course I have given seeds to some of Ebay # 2 x "Tinkerbell" and I have another 2 pods on another bulb of EBay # 2 yet to rippen. Of course there were several crosses that didn't take, it's a shame I don't write these things down, but I don't...(I do remember trying with Neon, no luck) Donna |

Very cool! Do keep us posted! Thanks for sharing the fun update! |
Donna - I am so happy that you had a good resolution with Saad. Your story filled me with nostalgia because I lived at Saad for six months, a long, long time ago. It was before they were raising flowers and just had field crops, orchards, and a dairy. They are wonderful people even if there have been bumps along the way with their hippie business. Have you posted pictures of your Tinkerbell? Sable |
Hi Sable, There are a couple of threads on "Tinkerbell" one under the name of Half & Half and one other I think.. Rather than paste the links for you I'll just re-post a few pictures which is easier for me to do. Their hippies are lovely and I can only imagine what it must be like to walk through their greenhouses and oogle at all their rejects! As this is a reject! The color is true on these pictures, it's a salmony pink.. Here are some re-posted pictures of my "Tinkerbell" a very diminutive plant and flower (the first year at least). There were six flowers on each of the two stalks. To show her size here she is with Ruby Star.. Donna |
Donna - Thank you for taking the time to post your pictures. Tinkerbell is a charming flower - between the color, the ruffles, and the picotee effect she has it all! I'll be following this saga with interest. You mentioned that there are six flowers on each stalk. This happened to me unexpectedly this year with Apple Blossom and Amigo. These two were from White Flower Farm (usually I order from John Scheepers). I wonder if what with all the careful cultivation certain qualities are being ramped up. I've also looked at Saad's pictures and salivated at those "miles" of color. The kibbutz is in desert country, so any splash of color makes quite a statement. Thanks again, |
Dear Donna I think the Tinkerbell pictures you have post are absolutely beautiful&gorgeous flower! I like this kand of beautiful new species very much. Thanks for post the charming flower for us. Cheers and happy gardening |
Dear Donna In my opinion in small sized flower Tinkerbell is more beautiful than the Mystery. Thanks again for showing such gorgeous & beautiful hybrids Tinkerbell for me! Best wishs®ards for you! |
Correcting my above post Dear Donna In my opinion in small sized flower Tinkerbell is more beautiful than the Misty. Thanks again for showing such gorgeous & beautiful hybrids Tinkerbell for me! Best wishs and regards for you Tiger |

The ten best rap videos of all time
There's nothing like a music video to bring out the character in a song. Unfortunately, these days, music videos tend to be mostly the same, especially rap videos. Needless to say, it's refreshing when a clip comes along that is different and creative enough to grab and hold your attention. With that in mind, here are the ten best rap videos of all time.
See also: The ten best metal videos of all time
10. OutKast - "B.O.B"
The video for "B.O.B" is something like what you might see if you took a tab of acid and chased it with a shot of adrenaline. Andre 3000 and Big Boi perform in neon tunnels and over technicolor streets continuously moving toward the inevitable party at the end, fully furnished with contorting dancers, blazing DJs and a house choir. Oh, and there's a monkey, too.
9. Eminem - "My Name Is"
"My Name Is" was the perfect video to introduce the irreverent Slim Shady to the ADD-riddled, TV-addicted Millennial Generation. One of the first images we see is a straightjacket-bound Eminem in therapy with Dr. Dre -- a fitting first look at the rest of his life in the public eye. Much of the rest of the video is comprised of vignettes that imitate the mediums of various television programs, like Cops, press conferences and music videos, all under the gaze of the typified slovenly, obese American couple.
8. A Tribe Called Quest - "Scenario"
"Scenario" is the kind of self-reflective meta-video that only works because it doesn't take itself too seriously. Using cartoonish graphics that match the silliness of the lyrics, Tribe pokes fun at the contrived way videos are often made, using throwaway "street" and underwater backgrounds, scrolling through outfits and cheesy effects. The whole thing is colorful, self-aware and funny, like pretty much everything ATCQ does.
7. 2 Chainz - "Birthday Song"
"Birthday Song" is one of the strangest, most mesmerizing videos you'll see. It's like a post-apocalyptic birthday party if it were all a dream. The video has the typical women shaking their asses, but it's all very robotic and a little disturbing, like when 2 Chainz walks outside to a line of expressionless men in dress shirts getting cursory lap dances from women with cartoonish proportions. This video skirts the line between exploitation and irony, and it definitely leaves a mark.

Comments about Tone Fitness 12lb Weighted Vest - Black:
I got this vest to wear for sports conditioning. It is easy to use and comfortable to wear while running. The weights in the back are padded and feel fine while doing crunches and it stays in place when doing push-ups.The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I wish it had an option for heavier weights, and also the pocket for a phone or MP3 player may not be big enough for all types.

Haha, I didn't even realise. Let's get to 1-2.
Yea Martin I guess did give HBO a rough copy of how he wants to end the series. So even if he doesn't finish the last two books in time the show can keep rolling.
He's written five books. It's going to be a seven book series. In the show he's still on book three but he's merged elements from book four in there as well. The show will likely stray on it's own path soon. Books 4 and 5 were written separately but they are happening at the same time. Martin just had so many characters that he split their story lines so he could cover it all.
He (ET) acted reformed for like a week then right back to the same crap he always pulls
Awesome dude, I'll try to give as much help when needed.
Ok I will post more in the Avs forum
Are you going to pick?
Want a team in Mock? You can co for the Giants. They are up now
In regards to your post, as to not go off topic in that thread and get banned for 6 months. "Not having work for two weeks doesn't help. I just sit around and lose my mind. I actually build another PC just to put in my living room on the coffee table and I sit there and play stupid games all day and stare at ESPN. I'm losing my effing mind."

The character is part of The Bible, a 10-hour television series airing on the History Channel.
Original source of this screenshot comes via CBS via the History Channel.
2. Another picture from the first episode.
3. Here is the actor who played Satan. His name is Mehdi Ouazzani.
4. UPDATE (March 18): The History Channel says in a statement Monday:
"HISTORY channel has the highest respect for President Obama. The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It's unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. HISTORY's 'The Bible' is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history."
5. "The Bible" Executive Producers, Mark Burnett & Roma Downey said Monday:
"This is utter nonsense. The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouzaani, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics– including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our President."
6. "The Bible" Executive Producer Roma Downey adds:
Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love our President, who is a fellow Christian. False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of The Bible."

The wearable space just got bigger. Way bigger. Apple debuted its long awaited wearable Tuesday, simply called Apple Watch.
Here's how and where to watch tomorrow's Apple event.
This week's Apple rumors hint at a new 12-inch MacBook and 4K display.
Apple's iWatch enters production, and new vital sign-sensing EarPods could be on their way.
This week's Apple rumors hint at new, non-feline OS X names and environmental sensors in the impending iWatch.
This week's rumors include more evidence of Apple's interest in wearable health tech and the death of the iPad 2.
This week on the Apple rumor front: The iPad mini could be coming November 21, and Apple seems to be working on a curved glass wearable.
There are smart-phones, smart-watches, smart-glasses, and even smart-jewelry. Variations for wearable computing are endless. But more importantly, where are the applications that will bring such hardware to life? What apps will link your glasses to your fridge and your smart-belt for weight gain alerts? Or how will machine and factory floor systems connect employees' smart-uniforms […]

1 Piece Suits
Leather Motorbike Race Suits
Very happy customer
The 1st set arrived but were to big so arranged to send them back and a new size dispatched. Both arrived very quickly and the customer service was brilliant in helping resolve the issue. The leathers themselves are great. They look fantastic and are very comfy to wear. Excellent value for money, will shop here again.
David Cain - Isle Of ManGreat value suit
Quality of the suit is great for this price and back protector is a plus. I wear size 46 so I thought 48 will be great but my only gripe with this suit is sizing. If your athletic built and your chest is bigger than your belly then consider 2 sizes bigger. Suit exchange was very fast so can't complaint about customer service at SBS they're great. I highly recommend this suit.
Anonymous - IrthlingboroughComfy, cheap, good quality
Bought them for track days and they are comfy and appear well made. Very happy with them for the money and let's hope they last. Disappointed with the fact they don't come with knee sliders though. Sportsbikeshop were very helpful and the salesman was faultless, thanks.

Sorry, couldn't resist using that title.... At a undisclosed MA13 location the fight was on, best day I've had for some time and lasted through high slack before slowing down. I seldom take SRC pictures anymore but couldn't help myself today. Landed many between 13" and 17" but most were around 14". The squimp caught most but I also caught some on a very small clouser around 2" long, using a 5wt, floating line and long leader, takes were very soft and a slow retrieve was paramount.... All fish were released unharmed !!!! I was the only one shaken up !!!
Beautiful fish and nice report, Mark! I've been thinking of tying up some more shrimpy looking flies lately. Thanks for the inspiration and goad!! I've been housebound for the last four days with a really nasty cold and can't wait to hit the beach again!
That's awesome Mark!!! Those are very healthy and fat Searun's! I'm more than ready to get out there soon, and we should start finding some nice rezzies as well.
Cool! Was planning on getting out on Friday and Saturday. Do you by chance have a closer pic of that fly?
Hey thanks guy's it was a fun day...Here's a picture of a cutthroat squimp and there is a SBS in the fly tying section if you want to check it out.... Have a great turkey day tomorrow everyone !!!!
Killer cool Mark! Fantastic day out, I may have to try and sneak some SRC time tomorrow. Glad you got out and had a good session! I also love that fly, my go to pattern 90% of the time!
Great report Mark! Guess I should have been there! I think I have this nasty cold beat, finally, so hopefully I'll probably be around this weekend to chase some!
Yes, years ago when I tied alot of GP's for steelhead I tried them for cutts with not much luck, I thought they'd work well but I think most shrimp that size tend to be in deep water so figured cutt's probably didn't see them that often. Anyway thats were the idea came from, these are tied on a #6 and #8 hook. Actually that is the second version, here's a pic of the original. I think they both work about the same but the rabbit, red GP breast feather gives it a little more realism.... Probably doesn't matter to the fish.....
Yes, thanks for sharing! Looks like it was a good day. Your updated Squimp looks pretty hot, but I'll have to tie some like your originals , since I don't have any Golden Pheasant breast feathers.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. When I get a bigger apt/house I want to get into fly tying. GF has too much shit everywhere in this 800sq ft place
Mark Excellent flies. You said that a slow retrieve was imperative. Does your retrieve vary relative to a slow, medium or fast current? And have you ever used a dead drift in the current with the fly?
Thanks nic, yes current plays a part in your retrieve as does the line you're using. For cutt's I usually use as slow of retreive as possible but that depends on current/rip/ depth and line I'm using, also what I believe they're feeding on... I love dead drifting and swinging krill (and baitfish) patterns in fast rips and currents, just stripping enough to keep in contact with the fly using a hover/intermediate or floating line.... Hope this helps.... Mark
It does. So you strip just enough to keep contact when you dead drift ... hmmm... you sound like a fisherman who's paid his dues. I believe Skues call it the sixth sense.
That's good to know about the dead drift/swing as it seems most people say you have to strip like a maniac to get cuts to strike. I've found this to be true in some cases but not all.
Silvers, strip as fast as you can, but not always necessary... Cutt's I've found much prefer a slower presentation unless they are really keying in on baitfish that they have too chase, but I think they will always take the easiest meal they can get with the least amount of effort, as most predators will.... Even if they're chasing bait they will look for the sick or wounded fish that's easy to grab, ( Poppers/sliders/gurglers are a good choice here)) so dead drifting a baitfish pattern will sometimes work when stripping fast doesn't, or at least this is my take on it and seems to work most of the time. Of course there's times when nothing works and I go home scratching my head, but that's fishing !!!!

The American Federation of Labor demanded that courts refrain from issuing injunctions in labor disputes. Unions also demanded exemption from the antitrust laws. Congress enacted the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890, which outlawed every "combination in restraint of trade." Yet while Congress's principal concern was monopolistic producers, labor unions were every bit as monopolistic as their employers. Indeed, the antitrust laws were more effective against union conspiracies, because unions engaged in more overtly cartel-like behavior, and because union combinations could rarely be shown, like many producer combinations, to have any public or consumer benefit. So even in 1911, when the Supreme Court stated the "rule of reason," applying the Sherman Act only to harmful combinations, unions remained in violation of the law.
Given the antitrust laws, what unions sought was immunity to engage in what would otherwise be criminal activity. The AFL found the Democratic party more receptive to its demands, and began to support that party. But even when unionists got the chance to amend antitrust law, all they managed to pass was the Clayton Act of 1914, a law so watered-down as to change nothing.
The Supreme Court was the last obstacle; almost everyone assumed it would declare the Wagner Act unconstitutional. But the Court backed down after President Franklin D. Roosevelt threatened to "pack" it, and his new appointees interpreted the law in a pro-union fashion. In 1940 the Court held that even "a lawless invasion of [a] plant and destruction of property by force and violence of the most brutal and wanton character, under [union] leadership and direction" did not amount to a conspiracy in restraint of trade. Two years later, the Court held that federal labor law did not forbid the New York City Teamsters to hijack trucks entering the city or extort a day's union wage from such trucks as a toll, calling it "traditional union activity." When Congress amended the law to prohibit such mayhem, the Court effectively nullified the adjustments.
Such union tactics, and the strike wave that followed World War II, led to demands that Congress limit unions' power. The 1947 Taft-Hartley Act preserved the fundamentals of the Wagner Act (majority and compulsory unionism), but did allow states to outlaw the "union shop" — the requirement that employees join the union or pay dues as a condition of employment. Most states in the South and West exercised this option and became "right to work" states.
Since then, new investment and jobs have been migrating from union-shop to right-to-work states — or abroad to countries with lower labor costs. Michigan alone lost 600,000 union jobs between 2000 and 2010. The number of private-sector union members has declined by half since 1973, and their percentage of the work force is about where it was before the New Deal. Michigan's move is, in a way, a return to that freer status quo.

Need advice or input on cutting back how-tos for plumbago, cape honeysuckle, jasmine, cat's claw, pyracantha, butterfly bushes, fairy dusters, a completely naked lemon tree, bottle brush and even some hard-hit agaves. Just about everything! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm just leaving mine alone (also in NE Tucson). If - IF - anything comes back, I'll cut away the dead stuff once sufficient new growth reappears, but not until after April Fools Day. It's been a weird year and I wouldn't be at all surprised if we got nailed again this month. Anything that died (are you listening, Mr. Willow Acacia?) will NOT be invited back into my yard ;) |
Thanks for the reply. I so dislike seeing all these dead sticks/stems, but know you're right about holding off until at least April. Despite having covered everything, using lights and smudge pots, my biggest loss looks to be a very prolific lemon tree. I am hoping it comes back. It's going to be an ugly spring... |
... ugly for us, not for the nurseries! Hope your lemon tree comes back too. We really wanted to plant one this fall; having second thoughts. Keep us posted. Oddly, the freezes and lack of rain seem to have invigorated some of my plants. A claret cup cactus, several years old, has never bloomed; this year it has over a dozen flowerbuds on it. Same with 2 beavertail/black-spine cactus hybrids. The creosote bushes look greener than usual, and the red-spike ice plants that didn't freeze to the ground are exploding with blooms right now. Even many nearly-dead aloes aloes are sending up flowers... weird! |

I saw a segment on the news that said that some of the plants that look totally dead might start coming back to life as late as June. So if you can be patient, wait longer than April Fools. Juttah, my Willow Acacia looks stone dead, too. But my Improved Meyer Lemon pulled through, with blankets and a light for heat. And I'm in a cold sink. It isn't very happy (isn't putting out new growth yet, like my tiny orange tree) but it's definitely still kicking, only minor twig and leaf damage. I bought it pretty big/mature, and I think the Improved Meyer are more cold hardy than most other lemon varieties. --Maureen |

Good to hear about some plants bouncing back. :) I do see some tentative shoots on several (but not all, LOL) of my lantanas, and my 'Orange Jubilee' Tecoma is covered with lusty new green shoots, so there's hope (a month ago it looked like several broom handles holding up a haystack). Hopefully there will be more good reports of plants rebounding. All but two of my citrus came through totally fine. My large 'Meyer Improved' lemon and my 'Lisbon' lemon had a lot of foliage burn (which has since fallen off, ugh) but they're making new growth now too and they have 50% of their original leaves and still great fruit so I'm hopeful they'll look good again some day. I lost my largest all green pencil cactus (Euphorbia), but my two others in my front yard look totally fine. Silly microclimates. Juttah, your comments to your willow acacia made me laugh out loud! Thanks for the updates (good or bad) and for the chuckle. Take care, |

There's no way I could wait that long! I've been cutting back over the past four weeks or so. I knocked all the dead leaves off of my cape honeysuckle and cut some of the branches down, salvaging the VERY rare stem with green on it. As for my baja fairy duster (pink), I trimmed it back a few weeks ago, which has left it with fewer blooms than usual, but it had barely any foliage and was overdue for a trim. I will prune it well after its done blooming so it will be ready for next year. I've cut my lantana and Bougainvilla as well as my Mexican and red bird of paradise. It was a rough winter, but I'm already getting new shoots on almost everything. I sure do miss green! We've been in our house for just under three years but this is the first time we have had so much die back! |
